Lucky Lu

A delivery driver in New York has his life turned upside down when he loses his only source of income.

Lu saves every single dollar from his delivery job to bring his wife and daughter from China to the U.S. Everything falls apart when both the money he’s saved for an apartment and his electrical bike vanish just 48 hours before his family is set to arrive in New York. With only two days left, he sets off on a desperate search through the city to recover the money and the bike. 

The film offers a look at a life shaped by the unpredictability of the gig economy, where small events have major consequences.

In the shadows of the gig economy lie intense drama, maximum demands, and zero security.

No one takes responsibility for the bike courier or the Uber driver, yet everyone acts as a reality show judge of their performance – handing out reviews and star ratings every single day.

Podcast host and screenwriter Gjermund Eriksen will introduce the screening of LUCKY LU on Friday 29.08 at 17:45.

The intro will be in Norwegian.
